Modestwear does not have to be drab, says Malaysian label Hanya

Hanya offers options for everyone to dress modestly, but with clothing that you would not necessarily deem as modest.

Modestwear is now beyond borders and global fashion brands from luxury to high-street are all embracing the look. Local label Hanya however, is aiming to expand beyond the definition of modest fashion.

According to founder Tan Veen Dee, modesty is all about having freedom. She says the fashion it is tied to should be experimental – like how a woman can purchase a sleeveless top and wear it in the right manner.
